Nobody expected to see an all in and a call on Table 10 when the two players started the hand with large stacks, but nobody ever called poker predictable.
Shyngis Satubayev opened for 9,000 from middle position and Jun Liu three-bet to 28,000. Satubayev pushed all in and Liu called for his remaining 139,000.
Satubayev:
Liu:

Two tables remained in the latest hand during hand-for-hand play, as one player found a fold on an outer table, all eyes shifted to Table 1 where Xiao Luo had called a jam from Daniel McAulay on the turn, putting himself at risk.
The hand started out with Luo opening to 9,000, McAulay three-betting to 28,000, and Luo making the call. The flop came and Luo check-called a bet of 25,000 from McAulay.

With the hand, McAulay is now the overall chip leader in the room.

We approached the table as the field was heading on break to see a bet of 89,000 sitting in front of Fabrice Soulier.
Action was on Soulier's heads-up opponent, Zinan Xu. Xu looked down at a board and roughly 200,000 already in the pot.
After a few moments, Soulier asked for the clock, and once the floor staff arrived, they decided to give Xu and an extra moment as the pot was monstrous. A minute went by and the floor staff began a 60-second countdown.
About half way through, Xu gathered up a call and slapped it down. Soulier tabled for a busted flush draw and Xu turned over
, a pair of twos.
Which was good and warranted several wows and praises from spectators who paused to catch the action.
